Covid-19 Update - Small Business

Small businesses will be the hardest hit by the ramifications of Covid-19.  The following is more information to help small business owners better understand some of the business support that's now available.



Late last week there was an article added to this site about the Federal Governments stimulus package.


Then 4 Fact Sheets became available to help understand the stimulus package.  Plus more information can be found here .


  1. Cash flow assistance for business
  2. Stimulus payments to households to support growth
  3. Assistance for severely affected regions
  4. Delivering support for business investment
     

This latest update provides more detail on how the stimulus package operates.  For example, Cash flow payment for employers.  'Eligible businesses will automatically receive payments of 50 per cent of their Business Activity Statements or Instalment Activity Statement from 28 April 2020, with refunds to be paid within 14 days.'  Read more detail here.
